CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO ENLARGE IT - ESPECIALLY THE ROLLER COASTER PICTURE AT THE END.
What a fun 4th of July. The girls got together with the neighbors and the Larsens and we all did fireworks the night before in our court. This was great for the kids because there weren't a bunch of older kids stealing the lime light or adding fireworks that scared them.
Lauren enjoyed the fireworks too. She loved the colors and the sounds didn't scare her at all. She never smiled, but she didn't cry and was completely glued to the firework show.
(L) Lexie, Bella, Laura, Zachary, Lauren, Jordyn & Greg
(R) Lexie under the blanket, Bella hiding on Laura's lap & Zackary ohhhing.
On the 4th, Bella & Daddy had a swim race. Bella & Lexie are now swimming all over the pool with their floaties on. They're doing great. Thanks to Milenko and Uncle Dan, Lauren is learning to use the computer at an early age. :-)
Dave and the boys came by on the morning of the 4th. Bella & Lexie did some "sparklies" with Nicholas and Christian. They had a great time.
Bella and Lexie had more fun during the with the sparklers just because they could see them a little better. (So could mommy's camera - thanks for the advise Laura!)
On the 5th, Mommy & the girls went to the Alameda County Fair with Donna & Alyssa. The kids spent most of the day looking at the animals and eating gummy bears and very expensive ice cream. While I was changing Lexie on the grass, Bella fell down and split her tongue open pretty badly. Thank goodness Donna was watching her. It's always great having a nurse for your best friend! After spending about $30 on the worst food ever, we packed it up to get the munckins home for a nap. Boy did my kids need it! (Wait, so did I!)
Since Bella & Lexie didn't get a chance to ride the ponies on our first trip to the Fair with Donna, we went back again at 7pm that night with Daddy. The kids were able to get their pony rides and they played on the carnival rides too. We took a million pictures!
The Kanagroom ride was a favorite.
So was the car ride. Milenko said that the only thing he saw when he was taking pictures of Lexie was the back of her throat. She was constantly laughing.
Bella & Lexie also got to go on a real roller coaster. This was Bella's 2nd time on the ride and Lexie's first. 1/2 the time that we were looking at Bella she looked terrified. When the coaster came to a slow spot, she was cracking up. Go figure!
Lauren had a pretty good time too. She was in the carrier on Mommy's chest. She stayed nice and warm and got to people watch - her favorite thing.
I've created a bunch of albums on Shutterfly for you to see all the pictures we've taken over the past 3 months. You can go there by putting this link in your browser and entering the password debbied:
